This cavalier romantic thriller is essentially the Scarlet Pimpernel relocated in place and time across the Channel during the English Civil War. George Baker plays the eponymous hero, beating off the Roundhead foe as he single-handedly saves the country's aristocracy, smuggling them to safety in France. But when Charles II decides to take the trip, Cromwell's cronies are waiting in the wings. Marius Goring and John Le Mesurier beef up the supporting cast, while stunning Sylvia Syms provides the romantic interest in a dashing yarn of love, courage and betrayal.
